For most pet owners in the U.S., their dogs, cats, and assortment of other critters are not just pets...they're family. The best veterinarians know this and treat their customers' fur babies as such.

Because of that, veterinary appointments are not always the refreshing celebrations of your pets’ unique personalities. More often than we’d like, visiting the vet can be stressful, costly, and intimidating for pet owners. While every pet owner would love to have a financial safety cushion when it comes to pet expenses, that is not always the case, so veterinarians have a unique obligation to consider their client’s emotions when selecting their veterinary payment processing solutions.

Whether it be for a routine check-up or an emergency, the relationship between a pet owner, pet, and their vet clinic is critical, and having excellent credit card processing is essential to further that relationship.

Peace of Mind For Our Furry Friends

When it comes to running your veterinary clinic, chances are most of your time and energy is spent on hiring exceptional veterinarians, maintaining an efficient space, and providing quality services.

This is exactly where your effort should go.

You have enough in your doggie dish to take care of.

Veterinary Payment Processing should be a simple guarantee to your customers, not a headache, but it is also an aspect of your business that should not be overlooked. Whether your veterinary clinic is cash only or limited in the cards you can accept, you need to ensure that your customers are seamlessly able to pay for their pet's care.

As you know, when a customer rushes their pet in for an emergency, emotions are heightened. Even if your pet care is exceptional, a poor payment transaction process can sour the taste of an already tense experience.

You don't want to lose valued customers due to a lack of or poor payment processing.

Instead, opt for payment processing that:

• Boosts your sales
• Accepts most major credit cards for convenience
• Accepts mobile payments (Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, Android Pay)
• Utilizes a range of terminals that can dip, tap, or swipe
• Streamline online sales for eCommerce transactions
• Allow for simple, smooth installation

Credit processing that works for your customers, works for you. Give your customers the freedom to pay the way they prefer with Electronic Merchant Systems. We offer veterinary clinics these payment processing options, competitive rates, and much more.

Once you combine headache-free credit processing with your superior veterinary service, you will be the "top dog" in your local community.

Build Long-Lasting Relationships with Clients (and their Pets)!

Credit Processing is a must in this day and age, but what else can be done to ensure your customers have a satisfactory experience?

Veterinary gift card and loyalty programs

Did you know that 76% of US customers believe that customer loyalty programs are a significant part of their relationships with businesses?

We have taken note that the vet clinics we partner with have substantially benefited from including gift and loyalty in their service.

Building loyalty is key in defining the relationship between a pet owner and their veterinary clinic. Promote customer retention and develop trust with the following opportunities:

• Loyalty cards
• Gift Cards (does your vet clinic sell food or small pet accessories? Consider this a great opportunity to make extra sales with these items!)
• Custom card designs (what better card for your cat moms and dads than a furry feline on the cover of the card?)
• Stay competitive with other veterinarian clinics that offer gift or loyalty cards

Consider utilizing a punch card. Maybe every 5 canine visits their pup gets their nails trimmed for free or gets a free collar/shampoo kit.

The options are endless and the reward mentality will assist in building relationships, loyalty, and repeat customers.
